“Heather has been so helpful checking up on our pups while we’re at work! It’s clear they are super comfortable with her and she always sends cute photos of their time together!”
“Paige has quickly become an important part of my plans any time that I travel. She is trustworthy, has an incredible attention to detail, and she genuinely loves animals.”

About: ❤️dogs! Had them since child, first one was Shepard mix, couple of pitbull terriers, my new buddy is a 2 yr old doberman named todoroki, we go on long walks all the time I currently work on the door dash app so my schedule is free during the day from about 7 am to about 4pm I usually deliver at night Lots of walks, I can take your puppy on the walk he desperately needs while your working never worry if your baby had an accident again

“Baela did a great job taking care of my two cats! One of them is a little bit difficult and needed medication, and she took care of it no problem. My cats were happy when I got home, and everything was in order. Baela communicated very well before and during my trip. I would definitely recommend Baela and would use her again next time I go out of town.”

“Alexandra was absolutely wonderful with Toby! She arrived promptly and went above and beyond what was expected. Even though I told her she could simply let him out, she chose to spend quality time with him, took him for a walk, and spoke to him so kindly and gently. It was clear she genuinely cares and is very resourceful and attentive. I felt completely at ease knowing Toby was in such good hands. We will definitely be working with Alexandra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for excellent care!”

“Rico was absolutely wonderful! He treated my furbabies like his own, staying flexible and attentive throughout. He didn’t just stick to the basics—he added extra walks and even gave them baths, which they really needed! I couldn’t be happier and will definitely book Rico again. Highly recommend him for all your pet care needs!”

“Caroline was a fantastic cat sitter! Very prompt and communicative, provided us with daily photos and detailed updates, and went above and beyond multiple times (e.g. reached out to our neighbor to help track down a missing Chewy package). We will definitely book Caroline again!”


“We had a great experience with Bhavneet! Very reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our cat’s well-being. We loved getting detailed updates and photos during each visit, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. One of our cats can be shy, but she was patient, gentle, and took the time to make sure our cat was comfortable and fed. We came home to happy, relaxed cats, which says everything. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”

About: I've been a foster and pet sitter for mostly greyhounds for the past 20 years, and have always had dogs of my own. I've gone through obedience classes and grooming, and am pretty good with most temperaments. I am very available and flexible, since I'm retired. I can come by during the day, including weekends and holidays, whatever works for you and your pet. Please note that I accept in-home stays that are a minimum of two nights. I can come to your home and stay, or visit to let your dog out, walk, or feed. Safety is a big factor and I'll do my best!
“HUGE thank you to MacKenzie for doing this one-off semi last-minute visit with my pups and her continued patience with my one dog who is a little more nervous and difficult. She is a blessing and I will always be grateful for her love and care she gives my pups while I am away.”

“Jenine did a great job checking in on my cat. She kept me updated with pictures after every visit and gave my cat the love and attention she needed. I felt at ease knowing she was caring for my girl while I was away. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: Hello and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here! 😊 A little bit about me and why I might be a good fit for your family: I’m Pet CPR & First Aid certified, which means any pet’s well-being is always my top priority and you can feel confident they’re in capable hands. I also have experience administering oral medications as well! I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you are away. Whether that means high-energy playtime, long walks, medication schedules, or quiet cuddle time, I adapt to what makes pets happiest. Thank you for trusting me with your fur babies!☺️🐶🐱 Pet care fits well into my routine alongside my career as an elementary school teacher. I work Monday–Friday from 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM, which means I’m available for morning check-ins, afternoon/evening care, overnight stays, and weekend bookings. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and any special care needs. I know pets are most comfortable in familiar environments, so I make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I’m respectful, clean, and dependable in every home I visit, and I always keep pet parents updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. My goal is always to make your pets feel cared for, happy, and at home.

About: In highschool I was very popular in my neighborhood from doing there dog nails, to dog sitting, over night stays, and even medications. Even back in high school I had a part time and school and still made sure the fur babies were taken care of. To this day I still dog sit for my neighbor. I also worked at a doggy daycare for about 6 months then i moved, I learned so much while I was there in that short period of time from learning to gain respect and how to control a group of 15+ dogs . And was in a animal science program in highschool with a mentorship at a clinic, then tried to go to college for my vet tech degree but too expensive(still paying that off). I also do have a very energetic German shepherd who I train every day she knows pretty much everything(sit, lay down, roll over,paw, other paw,high five, spin, heel, center, look, leave it, back up, and wait). I also dog sat for my boyfriend's coworker who had an older pointer who had a seziure not only did I comfort the dog but I called owner asap then vet, I then called off of work. Just because it's not my animal doesn't mean I will love them any less. But the take away from all that is I have a lot of experience in the animal department. I'm currently working part time and have a lot of free time on my hands and love being around animals . I only work wensday-saturday the other days I'm free. But as you can see with my profile I do have my own fur baby but my boyfriend never works nights or weekends so she won't be alone. For the pets at clients housing not only will I respond to you text asap even if I'm busy, I will also ask for guide lines and try to keep your dog on the schedule you have them on consistency is key, especially when a change like you leaving happens. I also am a big over thinker so before I let the dog out if you have a yard I will always make sure the gates are close and secure and make sure there's nothing laying out that would harm them. When I dog sit I imagine as if it's my own dog.
About: Dog sitting was my first job as a teenager. My mom actually gave me the idea to start because she never wanted to have a pet, so this was such a fun compromise! Since then I’ve dog sat for small, medium and large dogs! I myself am an active person and love to be active with a furry friend! It’s nice to have company on a walk run or even someone to explore new parks with! I work full time but my schedule is fairly flexible! I am a therapist and have ability to work from home at times as long as I am not in a session or scheduled to run group therapy! I am happy to stay at your home and care for your pet with the instructions you give! I am happy to walk, play, pet, feed and clean up after your dog.
About: I’ve cared for a variety of animals throughout my life—including dogs, rabbits, birds, fish, and reptiles. My mom had two Pomeranians and a Shih Tzu, so I’m no stranger to small-breed personalities! I’ve provided pet sitting, walking, grooming, feeding, and even taken pets to vet appointments. Eventually, I’d love to adopt a dog of my own 🥰—but for now, I love caring for other people’s pets like they’re part of my own family. I'm currently working part time and my schedule is flexible with reasonable notice. Early mornings during the week and some evenings would be okay. I'm also available on the weekends. I'm close to plenty of parks and I also have big yard but it's not fenced in...I have an extra room that will be used for guest pets to sleep in or next to my bed is ok..I would make sure the pet has food and water down, I can administer an medication. I would try to adhere to the pets routine so that he/she is comfortable.I'm located near several parks and have a large yard that's perfect for playtime—though it isn't fenced, I always supervise outdoor time to ensure pets are safe. Inside, I have an extra room available just for guest pets, or they’re welcome to sleep near my bed if that’s what they’re used to. I always make sure pets have fresh food and water, and I’m comfortable administering any medications they may need. Most importantly, I do my best to follow your pet’s usual routine to help them feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible while you're away.
“anna is such a lovely human and an incredible communicator. she stopped by to feed our cat & dog and made sure our dog went to the bathroom. she followed all of the instructions left and sent photos and updates during her time with our girls! so grateful to have a trustworthy person come to take care of our girls! will definitely book anna again in the future :)”

HUGE thank you to MacKenzie for doing this one-off semi last-minute visit with my pups and her continued patience with my one dog who is a little more nervous and difficult. She is a blessing and I will always be grateful for her love and care she gives my pups while I am away.

Emalee once again did a fantastic job caring for my cats while I was away. She last minute was willing to increase the frequency of her visits to help apply some eye ointment when one of the kitties needed it right before I was going away. She did such an amazing job with them and I never have to worry about them while she is caring for them.

Saoirse came for a meet and greet and a 1 hour drop-in ahead of a planned longer stay. She was fantastic with my dog right off the bat, and very thorough when we went over Isla’s needs. She is super communicative and sent great pics, even during such a short stay. Isla had a great time hanging out with Saoirse, and we can’t wait to have her again!

Emma listened to, understood, and executed all of the directions for my cat, 🐈⬛ Milo. More importantly, she brought her caring spirit to her daily check-ins for feedings, litter sifting, and love-petting. And I appreciated the photos of Milo and his sweet face. I highly recommend Emma.

Kate was absolutely fantastic. Our cat Millie got sick right before we were leaving for vacation, and Kate jumped right in on short notice. She went above and beyond, giving daily pills and other meds based on how Millie was doing. She was always responsive and kept us updated. We will absolutely use Kate again and highly recommend her!

Squeaker and Ariel were happy to see Wei arrive every morning and evening while I was away, especially when it was time for treats and, for Squeaker, brushing his coat. Ariel apologizes for her hissing, she takes a while to show her friendly feline nature! It was nice to see photos of my cats while I was away. Wei was proactive in dealing with issues by maintaining communication while I was out of the country.
